Netscape 1997-2002

Scott Andrew has made a nice little "tribute" to Netscape
Netscape 4.0 - 1997 - 2002

Lets put Netscape 4.0 to rest. I agree with Scott when he says:

Netscape 4.0 is five years old today. That's like 236 in Web years. Ancient. The Methuselah of browsers, kept alive on an IV drip of tag soup.

BTW: The link at the top is NOT to his weblog posting, but to a very nice and artsy way of getting the point across that Netscape 4.0 now is ancient.

Flash-based CSS2 parser

A beta of a CSS2 parser built in Flash MX has been made available by Claus Wahlers, the creator of the jpeg2swf converter.

According to David Emberton at ActionScript.com this parser will become part of a fully standards compliant XHTML display engine. The engine will support XHTML, XForms and XPath. An early prototype has been made available.

Sounds like an ambitious project. Would be interesting to see a full out XHTML browser in Flash MX. But I am skeptical, parsing is CPU-intensive work, and I would be surprised if the parsing of XHTML doesn't turn out to be painfully slow.
